disCOVER: Ableism with Fiona Kumari Campbell

This is a video in our disCOVER series: where we speak to disability experts, activists and researchers to learn more about challenging disabling society. In this video we interview Fiona Kumari Campbell, Griffith University, about the shift of focus from disablism to ableism.

Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) offers disability studies teaching and research at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the academic departments of Education, English, Law, Psychology, Social Change and Sociology.

Critical disability studies at our university aim to understand and challenge exclusionary and oppressive practices associated with disablism and consider the ways these intersect with other forms of marginalisation including hetero/sexism, racism, poverty and imperialism.
